About This Podcast

Welcome to “Talkin About Pigs” with SMEC – a podcast where individuals from the Swine Medicine Education Center discuss swine health topics over coffee. Each podcast covers a different swine health topic of interest to pork producers. All topics are generated from producer submitted questions. We keep the topic producer oriented, with the goal of bringing pork producers relevant information that they can bring back to the farm.
